Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Vegan chicken pieces
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 100 grams Frozen peas
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Water
- 20 sheets Vegan samosa wrappers
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water for slurry
- 500 milliliters Oil for frying
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Boil them in a pot of water until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cut the vegan chicken into small bite-sized pieces.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and sauté until they start to crackle.
Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the vegan chicken pieces and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add turmeric, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to coat the vegan chicken with spices.
Add the cooked potatoes and frozen peas to the skillet. Mix everything well and cook for another 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. This will be used to seal the samosa edges.
Take one samosa wrapper and lay it flat. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the filling at one end. Fold the wrapper into a triangular shape, sealing the edges with the cornstarch slurry. Repeat until all wrappers are filled.
Heat the oil for frying in a deep pot or fryer to 180°C (350°F). Gently place 3-4 samosas into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry the samosas until golden and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Serve the vegan chicken samosas hot with your favorite vegan chutney or dipping sauce.
